    Things are never black and white. No matter how much you might think they are. I'm aware of it. And it's ridiculous that taxpayers fund any of it. There's a league clubs getting funding as well. Tasmania also funding NBL club facilities.

    Governments shouldn't fund professional sport and their facilities. The problem is they insist on doing so. The training facilities and coes in particular getting funding is a f**king joke...whatever code. Stadium funding is a little different as these are typically state assets and used for...

    I hate government funding of professional sport, including the AFL, but it's not going to stop happening. The NRL are well within their rights to try and get what they can. All I'm saying is that the situation is not the same. I also think that current bidders might be looking back at the...

    The WA Goverment is not desperate for an NRL team. If it was it would have led the bid itself as Tasmania did. It didnt. The MacGowan government supported a third party bid as did the Cook Government. It seems the WA Government doesnt. And I doubt it will. If it wants that treatment then...

    Tasmania trying to convince the AFL to give them a side the AFL didnt want them to have. For the NRL its trying to convince the WA government to support a team it will be happy to have but didnt beg the NRL for.

    The risk is - Can you cut 8-10 rounds worth of matches (64 games) at around 600k each (more than 38 million viewers), 16 of them in prime time and expect that to be made up with some internationals. Can you cut 8-10 rounds of matches without killing of 1m+ in attendance. Also affects...

    Thats fair. I think I intended to use the post to discuss the belief that you can replace half a dozen season rounds with some internationals but i got sidetracked and never got round to it.
